...comment on any case under court review. The purpose of the law is to prevent "trial by newspaper," but no attempt is made to balance fair trial and free press; the law is applied any time press coverage could possibly be prejudicial, even if publication would serve the public interest. If the U.S. had the same law, Watergate might still be under wraps, since the Washington Post would have been silenced after the break-in at Democratic Party headquarters and limited to reporting the bare facts at trials and public hearings...
...least $100 an hour, looked elsewhere to get his fees paid. Where? The state of California. Under a rarely applied California law, a court may require the state to pay attorneys' fees "in any action which has resulted in the enforcement of an important right affecting the public interest." The right in this case, of course, is to sue a live-in mate for "palimony." Local lawyers say chances are slim that the state will foot Mitchelson's bill.

...that security rands are not currently legal tender in South Africa, and that the government bonds in question are likely to be of the 15 to 30 year category. If all this is accurate, it would seem that without drawing such attention to it as to depress foreign investor interest, the South African government has effectively rendered the withdrawal debate sterile. Even if a foreign company were to succeed in disposing of its assets in South Africa for a fair, rather than a forced sale price, translating them into loans to the South African government would hardly...
